On a PPG basis, the East in 2017 (1.52 PPG) did better than the West in 2016 (1.44 PPG). Ties were down which will inflate the PPG for both sides somewhat (and is a pretty random factor as best as I can tell). There were 30 ties in 2016 (30% of games), and only 32 in 2017 despite playing 22 additional interconference games (26% of games drew). The East PPG in 2016 was 1.26 which is slightly better than the West’s 1.22 this year.
